Wonderful relaxing routine. You have a lovely voice and provide very descriptive instruction. Love the detail in setting up wuji stance. Thank you for doing these videos. 🙏😌

[@karensoo88]

Wuji is vital!

[@debstr65]

Thank you Karen, I am learning so much from you about the Wuji stance and how to keep grounded and move from the Dan Tien. I struggled with this for two years until I was able to watch you move. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you very much.

Thank you, very nice and relaxing 👌

[@thomas35835]

Thank you for sharing this. Such a delightful practice. Although most of the movements were already familiar to me already it is the way you practice and instruct that made these movements "click" somehow.

[@sandyseablossom3611]

Hi, Karen. This is a lovely, comforting practice. Thank you so much! I notice you use a Shao Gong closing on all of your videos. I like this movement very much and would love to better understand its meaning. Would you be able to share that? Again, thank you!

[@karensoo88]

Simply speaking, Shao Gong means to gather all the Qi cultivated and store in the Dan Tien. It is a wonderful centering and balancing movement.

Hi Karen, thank you so much for this video. It’s very different and I practiced it more than a few times. It helps with my constipation. Can you put out another autumn video this year?❤

[@netian9294]

Thank you🍀

[@edwardhenne3204]

I do those first two exercises. The knees should go in and out slightly with the elbows - it connects the whole facia, much like the old Chinese finger cuffs

[@JJUSTINMEEHAN]

Clearly these movements are from Feng Zhiqiang’s HunYuan Taiji/Qigong system as first taught in the US (trees clearly indicate California) by Zhang Xue Xin. It is always important to acknowledge one’s teachers and system.

[@karensoo88]

These trees are in beautiful Lineover Wood in the Cotswolds, England. This set of Coiling Silk movements were learned from Lao Sr Ken Cohen as written in the description accompanying this video.

[@uwvadertje]

where's this been??!

[@EveCostarelliAlwaysBeDancing]

Today again...thank you!

[@missjillyofthealley]

Thank you, Karen. It's beautifully explained and easy to follow. I'm going to learn it by heart so I can do it somewhere natural and peaceful.

[@karensoo88]

Wonderful!

[@AUser-r3j]

How do you change direction in exercise 2? You're going backwards and forwards so I don't get it?

[@karensoo88]

Thank you for your question. Exercise 2 is horizontal hip circles, so first you circle the hips anti-clockwise and then change direction to clockwise (or vice versa). The hips are not moving backwards and forwards but in a circle.

[@AndrewHarrell]

Thank you so much Karen for this wonderful teaching. As I do the monkey grabbing fruit I think of yogi trying to control mind at point Bindu of aJana chakra dristhi flowing thought stopping attachment to knotted mental obstacles and problems directly in front releasing healing the kundalini energy climbing upward to over watching name of God YHWH presence like up Jacob’s ladder to cross of Jesus in heaven and then back down to earth healed. Thank you.

This is Qigong and very good to do before practising Tai Chi.
